This is a letter from the publisher of Inc. Magazine on making the list.

Dear Jerry,

Congratulations again on making Inc.'s list of America's fastest growing private companies. Over the years, we've seen many companies leverage their appearance on the list to actually accelerate their growth. That’s one reason I hope you’ve been sharing the achievements of American Carpet Wholesalers of GA with your employees, customers, and the many others who have contributed to its great success.

You can also view former President Bill Clinton’s speech. In both his presence at the event and in his remarks, I think he showed that he understands the important role entrepreneurs play in America’s economic success. He and I also both share the belief that entrepreneurship is one of our best hopes for expanding opportunity in the nation’s distressed and emerging communities. We'll begin recruitment in the next month for the Inner City Entrepreneur Initiative, a high-impact mentoring program between successful entrepreneurs and emerging growth companies in America's inner cities.

We're Just Floored!

Welcome to our blog! We hope to answer questions and maybe give you little advice about flooring and about buying from an online retailer such as American Carpet Wholesalers or steer you to a local retailer in your area. Quite frankly, buying online is not for everyone. So if you have questions or need advice, please feel free to ask.

About Me

I am a 35 year veteran of the flooring industry. The first 20 years as a retailer in various parts of the country, which helps me understand the needs of our customers across the country. The last 15 spent right here in Dalton, Georgia as a wholesaler and online retailer. I started American Carpet Wholesalers in August of 2002 with a dedicated staff of experienced professionals. Without them, the venture would have been extremely difficult.
Personally, I am the father of 1 daughter and 2 wonderful grandchildren.
A Vietnam Veteran and a believer in my fellow man.
